Hey there everyone, I have a fun project to share with
you. I know it's a little early, but how about a Christmas in July post
for you!!! Sometimes it's better to get your projects done a little
early since the Holiday time is so crazy busy. I created this fun
countdown to Christmas using one of the Artful Binders from Basically Bare. There are lots
of yummy photos of this.....i mean it is 25 pages :)
So
lets start with the cover. I painted the cover with Art Anthology
white gesso, then inked all the edges brown. I cut the pattern paper
about 1/4" smaller then the cover adhered it with my Xyron adhesive and
went to town decorating. The fabulous bow I made using May Arts ribbon.
A few close ups of the cover.
A side view of all of the yummy pages inside.
Now for the inside. There are tons of spaces for photos, journaling and whatever else I want to add!!
I also added some kraft tags throughout the album.
I
added a few smaller pages to the binder which you could also use the
add on pages that Basically Bare sells as well. The main pages are
perfect to turn into pockets like the photo below.
Page 15 has a hidden spot that slides out from the right of the page.
On page 20 I created a little hidden journaling tag and made it easy to slide out by adding some more fabulous May Arts ribbon.
Of course the last page is the back cover of the album so that was turned into a big pocket as well.
Supplies Used:
Basically Bare - Artful Binder
Art Anthology - Gesso
Ranger - Distress Ink (walnut stain)
Xyron - Mega Runner & foam squares
Carta Bella - So This Is Christmas collection
May Arts - ribbons
Thanks
so much so much for stopping by today, hope I have inspired
you to start you countdown to Christmas albums early!
